Denny is such a gracious teacher and this time, he’s helping our office staff train to understand customer concerns with a bit of practical application. Today’s lesson was in tooling a passport cover – here are a few images from the class!


Denny teaches by showing first and supervising later. He’s allowing for students to make
mistakeshappy accidents. It’s the best way to learn a craft


Students tape the back of their projects to minimize stretching

They trace the pattern onto their leather diligently.


Now they’re ready to begin carving and stamping


Of course, everyone works at their own pace.


Eventually they’ll end up with something like this.
Thanks for checking out this simple gallery. If you’d like to get some actual instruction, check out a few posts on our blog, check out our YouTube channel or grab a kit or pattern at our store. Denny has created the patterns for a number of more advanced projects including this popular shoulder holster pattern and he designed many of our CarveRite Craftaids.
Until next time!
